The afterlife topic is very interesting. I'd like to know more about reincarnation, I'm inclined to believe in it, although I don't think it's something automatic to everyone.
Also, there's already a couple of threads for discussing near death experiences.

You just disappear and your consciousness fades into the abyss

>>5958
We are recycled back into the earth and sky. We become both nothing and yet we become everything.

nothing as well

>>5959
Yes me too, i’m really fascinated with reincarnation and i think it’s what happens. A lot of NDE stories allude to it

>>5960
Fuck off scrote

You're dead.

>>5970
Huh, never thought of it that way

>>5971
The simplest answer is usually the most correct.

>>5972
You’re dead when you die, revolutionary

>>5973
Trying to push for everything to be exciting and different and revolutionary instead of focusing on what's real is how you end up with trannies. You can keep your flying demons and your hellfire and your men in dresses. No thank you.

>>5974
No ones pushing for anything and i don’t even believe in the abrahamic hell you schizophrenic retard. calm down. People have their different beliefs about the afterlife. Consciousness and existing is weird and bizarre as it is, what’s wrong with thinking there’s another level of weird shit after it?

my mom brought up a good point when I was talking to her about this earlier. She was saying that we aren't concerned or aware of where we are before life, so why is there so much fear about after life? This was making me think that we will either die with nothing, reincarnate with no memory or semblance of this life, or be somewhere so far away that we may as well not be ourselves (ex: high school can make you unrecognizably different, so an afterlife would be infinitely more indistinguishable). It's just comforting to think that there was an infinity of time before we were born equivalent to the infinity of time after we die, and both states are equally irrelevant to our state today. And if our life, which might as well be a fraction of a second in comparison to this infinity, really has a chance to land us in eternal punishment with no chance at redemption, then God would be cruel. This is why I think that even if there is a Christianity-like afterlife, the only way for God to be truly good is if there are chances for redemption after death that were maybe not revealed to us. Our modern understanding of an irredeemable hell either stems from the corruption of man or a corrupt God in my opinion, as the cruelty simply doesn't add up.

You have to keep in mind that just about no one maintains any serious belief in a hopeless, "fire and brimstone" hell. I've talked to people who claim to and they typically get embarrassed and fold if you ask them a few basic questions about the implications of such a belief.

Even for Christians, hell is nothing more than a literary concept.

>>5958
Welp I mind find out soon. I'll keep you posted nonas!

Lets meet on the other side

>>5958
Do you guys believe the whole "brain floods with DMT" thing

What happens to fire after it dies? Is there a heaven, hell, or other form of afterlife for fire? When I snuff out a match, what happens?

>>6044
I haven’t looked into it but it explains the before death visions

>>6047
Fire goes to hell when it dies obviously

Heaven to us is what Hell is for fire. It's a paradise for fire sprites.

>>6044
I can't find it right now but there was some study that attempted to measure the amount of DMT in a cadaver and there isn't enough to cause hallucinations so all that's left in a material sense for a theory is the process of brain cells dying slowly causing a sort of short circuit glitch or something like that.

What happens to the radio broadcasting station if you smash your radio?

>What do you think happens after we die?

Nothing. Everything just returns to what it was like before you were born. I don't really believe in an afterlife since I'm not religious. Well, only as a sense of comfort for my loved ones that have passed and that bad people, who managed to get away being bad their whole lives, actually have somewhere they go to get punished. I guess those are just the reasons most people want to believe in an afterlife, though.

>Have you ever had a near death experience?

I don't think so. Several times I've been almost hit by a car and miracly survived each time but it wasn't any kind of out-of-body death experience. It did convince me there must be some kind of spritiual power / guarding angel-things out there though. That's just happened to me too often to be a coincidence. I should have turned into a vegetable by now, but the cars would stop just inches away from me every single time and I would be completely unscathed. Other than the last time it happened, when the car did manage to slightly hit my leg and I had to limp on my way to school. Still wasn't a serious injury though because I managed to activate some kind of cat-like resources to dodge edge of the fucking car right as it was pulling up.

i believe in reincarnation. it sucks that we’ll probably never truly know what happens. western society puts too much of a negative emphasis on death though. maybe people would be a little less scared if we approached death differently.

DMT experiences also differ a lot from NDEs. The only thing they usually have in common is an out of body feeling.

>>6128
Woah mind… blown…

i kind of think it's better that we don't know. if people knew what happened after death, they would either give up/become apathetic if it was just nothingness, or if there was some otherworld, try to manipulate the dead for their own personal gain. we can't just leave things alone, always got to fuck it up somehow.

but on the other hand, i don't think when we die we just disappear but at the same time i don't think everyone continues on/reincarnates. i have my suspicions that you get a "choice" what happens to you and sometimes i think some people just choose not to reincarnate. personally, i've had some weird experiences like dreams that suggest maybe i've lived more than one life, and i've dreamed of people i've known coming to see me again to let me know they are still "alive", but at the same time…i just don't know, so i try not to worry about it too much.
